A thread on some tenets regarding open systems I feel compelled to relay:
- It’s extremely hard for open to ever compete with closed. It almost never succeeds.
- Every now and then open is given a chance due to unprecedented external events or pressures.
- In the rare event that open gains momentum, any actor can adopt it. That’s the point.
- The actors who adopt open will inevitably range from good to indifferent to bad.
